Madelyn Cline Makes a Bold Fashion Statement at NFL Honors
The 15th Annual NFL Honors, held at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, California, on Thursday, saw actress Madelyn Cline command attention with a striking red carpet appearance. The 28-year-old star of the popular Netflix series Outer Banks opted for a daring sleeveless baby-blue ruched gown that featured a plunging neckline and elegant draping of the skirt tucked into the waistline. She completed the ensemble with sophisticated black peep-toe heels, creating a look that blended glamour with modern edge.
Styling and Presentation Duties at the Pre-Super Bowl Event
For the sporty function, which preceded Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium in nearby Santa Clara, hairstylist Marc Mena crafted Cline's signature 'f***a** bob' into a chic and polished style. Make-up artist Jennifer Luney Tioseco expertly contoured the South Carolina native's complexion, defining her bushy brows and enhancing her pink pout. Cline was present at the NFL Honors to fulfil presenting duties, adding a touch of Hollywood star power to the football-centric event.
The actress, known for her role in The Map That Leads to You, arrived hours earlier via private plane, accompanied by Privé Revaux co-founder Dave Osokow and Tioseco. This high-profile appearance comes amidst growing speculation about her personal life, particularly her relationship with fellow actor Lukas Gage.
Romance Rumours Intensify Following Social Media Activity
Cline's red carpet sighting occurred just three days after she commented '[love of my life]' on a post by gossip site DeuxMoi, which alleged a 'new couple alert' and 'real romance' between her and Gage. The I Know What You Did Last Summer star was last photographed with the 30-year-old White Lotus alum outside Paris Hilton's Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir after-party in Los Angeles on January 21.
Celebrities such as Vanderpump Rules alum Katie Maloney, transgender trailblazer Dylan Mulvaney, and nepo baby Iris Apatow contributed excited comments about the 'hard launch' of the so-called couple. This buzz follows Gage's recent candid revelations about his personal life and relationships.
Lukas Gage's Personal Revelations and Career Moves
Two months prior, Gage confessed on the In Your Dreams podcast that he identifies as '10 percent straight' and has had sex with 'multiple' women, though he expressed discomfort with certain intimate acts. The author of I Wrote This For Attention, who has been open about his borderline personality disorder, admitted he struggles to connect with women 'emotionally' as he considers himself 'definitely queer' and believes he will 'end up with a guy for sure.'
In an interview with Them last October, Gage reflected on his past relationships, stating, 'I think everyone's beautiful and hot, and I think I genuinely loved my girlfriend in the book that I talked about. It wasn’t me hiding who I was and trying to lie and deceive her.' He added, 'I don't know, I fall in love with someone every day. That's a problem. Maybe it's not.'
Gage finalised his divorce from Kim Kardashian's hairstylist Chris Appleton in 2024 after just seven months of marriage. On the professional front, he is set to portray Robert in Karim Ainouz's Spanish-set family drama Rosebush Pruning, which premieres on February 14 at the 76th Berlin International Film Festival.
Cline's Past Relationships and Upcoming Projects
Madelyn Cline has previously been linked to several high-profile figures, including her Outer Banks leading man Chase Stokes, DJ Zack Bia, singer Jackson Guthy, comedian Pete Davidson, and Prince Constantine-Alexios of Greece and Denmark. The 5ft6in actress is concluding her role as Kooks princess Sarah Cameron in the 10-episode fifth and final season of Netflix's mystery teen drama Outer Banks, which premieres later this year.
Recently, TMZ released footage showing Cline defending a production assistant on set after director Jonas Pate grabbed her arm and appeared to berate her, though the clip lacks audio. Last month, Deadline reported that the former child model is 'in talks' to play a pop star in Judd Apatow's untitled 2027 comedy at Universal, alongside Glen Powell and Cristin Milioti.
Additionally, Cline will portray Lorna in Marc Webb's yacht-set action thriller Day Drinker for Lionsgate, a project that reunites Blow stars Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz. As the entertainment world watches, Cline's blend of professional ambition and personal intrigue continues to captivate fans and media alike.
